More than ten days after leaving the city, the fleet of the Southwest Sea Division once again saw land.

Zhao Xingde boarded the shipbuilding and saw a long green coastline, and the port was already full of people watching the excitement.

The sailor's fast ship arrived in the country of Bo Ni two days early to prepare, and for two days, the king of Bo Ni, the local merchants, and the city bureau and the reclamation officials were all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the merchant fleet. After the fleet docked at the port, the city ship official came on board the ship first, this officer was of medium stature, with dark and thin cheeks, with a hint of melancholy. He was dressed in a wide robe with large sleeves, and he was wrinkled in the eight-rank court robe, so new that it seemed to have just been taken out of the closet. This high-level official entered the White Tiger Hall, looked around, and saw that Zhao Xingde and the sailors were all dressed in military robes, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and smiled bitterly in their hearts, but they didn't expect that they deliberately changed into court clothes to come to meet Mr. Zhao, which was extremely abrupt.

"Xiaguan Wu Xiaobang, see Lord Zhao."

"No need to be polite." Zhao Xingde looked at him and said with a smile, "Shaoyang praised you a lot, and I finally saw you today." ”

Wu Xiaobang raised his head, his eyes revealed a joyful color, and his originally nervous and cramped mood suddenly relaxed.

Chen Dong was forced to go to the phase, so that the South China Sea reclamation land was a voice of grievances, the reclamation was carried out under the personal auspices of Chen Dong, and the officials everywhere were either his disciples or confidants, and everyone was worried that the imperial court would change course, or Deng Su would simply send people to remove the officials from all over the country. Because of this, the counties of the tunken prefecture became more and more willing to ask the imperial court to open the state and county official schools, because after the opening of the state school, the official positions such as the governor and the county order of the tunken land were all recommended by the state school, and were no longer appointed by the imperial court through the Guangzhou City Bureau.

The opening of official studies has been promoted when Chen Dong was the prime minister, and it has stagnated after Deng Su took the position.

Although the various cantonments have been running in many directions, however, the DPRK and China have always added more icing on the cake and less charcoal in the snow. When the hearts of the people were fluctuating, Zhao Xingde inspected the Southwest Sea, and expressed his attitude without hesitation when they met, and immediately won the favor of Wu Xiaobang. Not to mention anything else, if the imperial court wants to remove the officials from all over the country, it must first see that he can't get through this evil sea. Zhao Xingde and the officials and gentry of the reclamation land are unwilling to see the uninvited guests, so they have to weigh and weigh them, is it a chestnut in the fire? Or is it a small life that matters?

"I'm ashamed to be late." Wu Xiaobang asked with the gift of juniors, "Did Mr. Zhao meet his teacher before leaving?" ”

"Shaoyang is very good," Zhao Xingde nodded and smiled, "The peach and plum in the Southwest Sea are everywhere, and they are blooming and bearing fruit, he should be even more pleased." ”

"Mr. Zhao praised it falsely." Zhao Xingde's unseen attitude made Wu Xiaobang suddenly feel a lot more excited, he looked at the officers on the left and right, and arched his hand, "Bonizhou is a big reclamation land in the southwest sea, and we will prepare a few glasses of water and wine for Mr. Zhao and the generals to catch the wind." He called Zhao Xingde "sir" because he respected his seniority in the society, and the others respected the general and separated their relatives.

Feng Mi and Ma Yuan exchanged glances, Ma Yuan shrugged his shoulders dissatisfied, and Feng Mi just smiled slightly.

"No need." Zhao Xingde looked down at the military robe and smiled at Wu Xiaobang: "On the day of the order, you will forget your home, and if you are bound by the army, you will forget your relatives." Our sailors have made a rule that if they do not have military affairs, they are not allowed to spend the night on the shore at will. A certain shy commander-in-chief, when going to sea, if it is not necessary for military affairs, he will not leave the fleet of sailors. He looked at the disappointed look on Wu Xiaobang's face, and said, "It's better to be like this, the sailor will talk every morning and evening, if the colleagues in Boni Prefecture are interested, Lord Wu can invite them to participate on the boat?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Wu Xiaobang arched his hand, and his face was even more joyful.

He looked at several officers of the Navy Division looking at him with a smile, suddenly saved a matter, and arched his hand: "Lord Zhao, my lords, the next official will go and explain first." He was overlooked for a while, just now he regarded these naval officers as ordinary generals, Zhao Xingde mentioned what the army would talk about, Wu Xiaobang then remembered that Zhao Xingde's subordinates were unusual, and the name of the academy in the army had already spread all over the Great Song Dynasty. After Bianliang took the helm, many scholars who threw their pens from Rong were not convinced, and they did not want to get involved in the party struggle of the imperial court, so they were disheartened and lazy to abandon their officials and return to their hometowns. Among the Southwest Water Returning Divisions, I am afraid that many talents are not inferior to themselves, but now it is too late to change their tunes, and Wu Xiaobang has to leave in embarrassment. If you talk about it at night, if you show your ugliness, I'm afraid that the big joke will spread all over the Central Plains. Wu Xiaobang was thinking about it in his heart, and made up his mind that he must invite talents from Bonizhou to fight. I would like to take this opportunity to show the scholars of the Central Plains that overseas states and counties are not barbarian states, and they are fully capable of electing their own shepherds.

"Lord Wu, this official robe was just put on, right?"

"Hmm." Wu Xiaobang looked at Xu Xiaoyun, saw that he looked friendly, and said with a wry smile: "Reclamation, building bridges and roads, although we don't need to do it ourselves, but if you are high, who will contribute to you?" Everywhere is in ruins, the road is blue, where to wear a wide robe with big sleeves? Xia Guan's usual clothes are similar to you, and when I saw Lord Zhao today, I solemnly changed into this outfit, but I didn't expect it to be abrupt. Saying that, he arched his hand and asked, "How abrupt is it, haven't you asked your Excellency for your surname?" ”

Xu Xiaoyun has a good temperament and speaks elegantly, and Wu Xiaobang will never treat him as an ordinary general.

"Xu Xiaoyun, the chief of the officer's armament, sent the naval division in the South China Sea to repair and replenish the warship."

"Iron Mask Goshi?" Wu Xiaobang took a breath and exclaimed, "It turned out to be Lord Xu in person." ”

His expression suddenly became solemn, and he took a deep look again: "I have heard the name of Xu Tiemian for a long time, and I have a good side, how can I know it now?" ”

He was secretly glad that he asked such a question, otherwise who would have expected that Zhao Xingde would casually send a subordinate official to accompany him to do things, and it turned out to be the iron-faced imperial history of the Qing Dynasty that was widely spread in Fanbang. Xu Xiaoyun is one of the most powerful people among the younger generations of Qingliu, although many people in the Central Plains say that Xu Xiaoyun is too harsh and harsh, however, in the counties of the South China Sea, Qingliu officials like Wu Xiaobang are very respectful of him, and he can't do practical things if he is not so. In addition, both sides are from the Li Society, and the discord between Chen Dong and Wu Zilong is also a dispute between gentlemen, after Deng Su ascended to the throne, the relationship between Chen and Wu Qingliu leaders is recovering, and it is natural for the protégés and old officials to sympathize with each other.

There are many talents in the account of the Southwest Sea Division, and Wu Xiaobang has an intuitive understanding at this time.

"Where, where," a smile appeared on Xu Xiaoyun's iron face, and he arched his hand, "Lord Wu has won the award." ”

Although Xu Xiaoyun is a doctor from the Wupin Dynasty, and Wu Xiaobang is now only an official from the Eighth Rank, but Wu Xiaobang presided over the reclamation of a place in Bo Ni Prefecture, which is a real achievement in opening up the territory and expanding the territory. The practice of the imperial court is not to go through the state and county, and no slaughter is allowed, Chen Dong put the disciples of the sect in the state and county to hone, and if there is an opportunity in the future, among these people, there will always be high-level talents who are among the center. Although Xu Xiaoyun is known as the iron-faced imperial history, he is not a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, Wu Xiaobang's official rank is far lower than him, and he lowered his posture to show goodwill, but he did not have any contempt for the other party.

"The reclamation presided over by Lord Wu is the great cause that will benefit the future."

Xu Xiaoyun is a world-famous iron-faced imperial history, even if it is a compliment, he will never say anything insincerely.

This is the great cause of reclamation for countless people who have paid countless blood and sweat, Wu Xiaobang's chest was slightly hot, he grinned, a reserved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, rubbed his hands, and felt the dry and hard calluses in his palms rubbing against each other. Wu Xiaobang was about to be humble, but at this time, Xu Xiaoyun said something again, which made him stop in surprise again. In order to prevent the nuisance of thieves and bandits, the sailors brought a batch of weapons to various places, and there were 2,500 guns in Bonizhou, 1,000 stainless steel knives, 15 iron barrels and cannons, and 7,500 pounds of gunpowder. By the way, some time ago, was this place harassed by the Great Eater Haikou? ”

"Great!" Wu Xiaobang was overjoyed, "Xiaguan will personally bring Ding Zhuang over tomorrow morning to inspect the handover." ”

The batch of firearms and ordnance transported by the sailor division was not only enough to increase the strength of the military and civilians of the Song State in Bonizhou several times, but also completely proved Zhao Xingde's position. Zhao Xingde's position is already so obvious, who in the world has the ability to forcibly remove the officials of the reclamation.

"The Great Food Haikou has never come to disturb us, but some of the merchants of the Great Food have a lot of status in this Bo Ni country, since our dynasty and the Great Food started a war, instigating traitors to slander the king, asking the king to expel us, but this Bo Ni king is quite knowledgeable, one by one to repel the evil spirits. Lord Zhao wiped out the Great Food Pirates, and I patrolled the Southwest Sea towards the army, and the Great Food Merchants all fled when they heard the wind. ”

Wu Xiaobang introduced. The situation over the past year or so has really made him feel a lot of emotion.

The people and beauty of this Bo Ni country, only a few gifts were given at the beginning, and the king agreed to set aside a large piece of wasteland for the Song people to immigrate to the settlement, and the big food merchants who had lived here for a long time were doing business with the Song merchants, and the two sides were at peace, because there were not many conflicts, and the armament of Bo Ni Prefecture was also very lax. Who knows, since the big water eater invaded the coastal states and counties of the Song State, the situation on the side of the Bo Ni country also changed abruptly, the big food merchants repeatedly lobbied the King of Bo Ni to expel the Song people, and the wealth of the Song merchants were paid into the treasury. If it weren't for the fact that King Boni had always admired the cultural relics of the Central Plains and repelled the traitorous ministers, I don't know how much trouble would have happened. After this incident, the Song Dynasty in Bonizhou knew that it would be dangerous to forget the war, and began to train in a big way, and this time the Southwest Sea Division transported a large number of firearms and ordnance, which was as timely as sending charcoal in the snow.
